Michael B. Jordanlet his romantic side come to the surface for girlfriendLori Harvey.
In a PEOPLE exclusive clip of Monday’s new episode of the Spotify Original podcast,Jemele Hill is Unbothered, theBlack Pantherstar, 34, credits his decision to rent out an aquarium for Harvey, 24, on Valentine’s Day to “a lot of pent-up romance.”
“It was a lot, I wasn’t able to do a lot of those things in the past,” PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive says. “It was fun; I’m a creative guy.”
Closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic also caused Jordan to think outside of the box when it came to how he would surprise his model girlfriend.
“Then you gotta be even more creative because there wasn’t a lot of things that were open. The circumstances of a lot of things forced me to be a bit of a thinker on that one,” he says. “I kind of put myself in a tough situation because I have to figure out next year.”
